WiDI - MIDI Studio for Android

11 things about WiDI - MIDI Studio

1. WiDI is a control surface with an integrated step sequencer in which you create controls such as buttons, pads, knobs and faders to send MIDI events and play sequences.

2. On a Mac, this is natively supported by macOS, and you do not need to install third party software (use Audio MIDI Setup.) On a PC running Windows, you might want to install rtpMIDI.

3. Additionally, any class-compliant MIDI interface natively supported by iOS can also be used directly by WiDI without the need of a network connection.

4. As an alternative to MIDI Network Sessions, you may use the WiDI Desktop Application.

5. If bound to a CC, the pad can act as an on/off switch (you specify the values for each state.) If bound to a note, each tap produces the specified MIDI note.

6. To interface WiDI with any MIDI instruments/devices connected to your Mac or PC, connect to a MIDI Network Session on your Mac or your PC.

7. A control is bound to a channel and a specific MIDI Control Change.

8. Once placed on the surface, use this control to interact with your MIDI device.

9. Pads are special controls: they can either produce MIDI CC events, Notes or Program changes.

10. A sequence can hold as many tracks as you wish, and send notes to different MIDI channels.

11. This is especially useful to operate MIDI instruments without keyboards such as synthesizer modules or drum machines.
